Southern Maine really got hit quite hard with the storm surge and the wind. Cottages which almost went in the storm a week ago are now off their foundations.

We're doing fine here on the Kennebec with just more rain and winds. But over a 100,000 households lost power, which in our small state is about a third of the households.

I'm going to check on mother's farm this afternoon. She's fine but she wants someone to mail in her taxes today! I guess I better mail mine in as well.

It's rather early but could you dilute a measure of Drambuie with two measures of Scotch, on the rocks, please!

I think the hard crash yesterday trashed my keyboard. My back-up keyboard seems to work fine, now that I've found it!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
